The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death

This is the most touching book I have ever read. It's a fast read but don't let it fool you. It makes one realize how precious life is and how much we take for granted. I couldn't put it down!

The Kitchen Readings: Untold Stories of Hunter S. Thompson by Michael Cleverly
The Kitchen Readings: Untold Stories of Hunter S. Thompson

Natalie Zhikhareva, November 24, 2008

I am a big Hunter S Thompson fan and I have read just about any book written on him. "The Kitchen Readings" offer a different inside into life of Thompson especially coming from people who were closest to him. Overall I found this book to be an interesting account and a personal glimpse into Thompson life.
